ooh sorry about that. i was talking about the filmography. should we put it in there?
- He doesn't talk in it, so probably not. - Joshua
- Well, we put That a Ghost and Malloween Commercial in Mr. Shmallow's filmography, didn't we? So why shouldn't we put That Time of Year in Cherry Greg's? Just saying is all. - Has Matt?
[edit] Picture??
When the picture for this article was removed I assumed there were plans on replacing it with something better. Any movement on this? - Dr Haggis - Talk 22:09, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- There is nothing better on the H*R website to use. -- Joshua 22:29, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Matt vs. Mike
It sounds to me that Mike is the voice for Cherry Greg.--Martin925 21:44, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Mike is the voice of the clapper loader. Matt is the voice of Cherry Greg. — It's dot com 22:59, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Wait, The Clapper Loader has a voice??? Can you elaborate on that?--Martin925 00:23, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
- The Clapper Loader is the man who operates the Clapperboard. Does that help? --DorianGray
- Yeah, I forgot about that. (btw..I wrote that article^^! hehe) thanks!
Whadd is up with cherry greg {no caps}
I can't believe homestar cannot remember anything anyhow. Isn't there someone else he could use for the commertial? {incorrect spelling}
[edit] Possible real-world connection?
This could be a bit of a stretch, but I can't help but wonder if the name "Cherry Greg" is a reference to John R. Cherry III, co-creator of the character Ernest P. Worrell (yep, the one who appears in several of Neil Cecierega's animations from the 00s), who appeared in local ads (mostly in the south) for several products during the 80s and 90s. -ALXXMaXX — 208.38.250.178 (Talk | contribs) 03:15, January 7, 2020 (UTC) (left unsigned)
- This idea also struck me and it seems plausible... The Ernest ads similarly featured a good-natured and childlike but oblivious/dim-witted pitchman character talking directly to the camera. There is a gag referencing Ernest movies in Commandos in the Classroom, with the brothers further remarking on those movies in the DVD commentary. Cherry is a fairly distinctive name and (with a quick search of IMDB and Wikipedia) John is the only notable director named "Cherry" active before 2001; a quick scan of YouTube shows the opening credits for the movies typically credited him just as "John Cherry", so you wouldn't expect a parody to be, like, "Cherry R. Greg III".
- I didn't grow up watching the ads or movies (I was vaguely aware of them as part of the cultural milieu, but I'm mostly familiar with Ernest via the "Ernest Roulette" series on YouTube featuring Cicierega et al) so I can't say if there are any additional jokes in the body of work riffing on Ernest. Personally I don't like adding "[x] might be a reference to [y]..." indecisively-worded Fun Facts to articles, and this isn't a slam-dunk obvious shout-out. But I'm not going to object if someone else be's bold and throws it in here. -- Bleu Ninja
